Curicó Unido form and stats

With 3 Primera Division wins, 0 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Curicó Unido are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Curicó Unido hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Curicó Unido, Audax Italiano, Magallanes, Copiapo and Nublense), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

Curicó Unido lost their last game at Huachipato (placed 2nd) after a 0-3 scoreline.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Universidad Chile the opponent.

Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.

O'Higgins form and stats

As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, O'Higgins have produced an overall stat of 5-2-4 so far.

O'Higgins had fun at their own home (Estadio Bicentenario La Granja) last time out, beating Audax Italiano 2-1. Torres and Silva scored. Things did not look good last match, when Campos got a red card in the 45th minute. They were already behind at this time, but a tremendous finish from O'Higgins resulted in a win!

A loss, in the Chilean Cup away at Magallanes (after extra-time, 5-3 on penalties), before that.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far O'Higgins have scored 14 goals in 11 league games away. As opposed to that, O'Higgins have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road. When O'Higgins is visiting a side on the bottom half, 3 of 4 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Audax Italiano, Magallanes, Copiapo, Nublense and O'Higgins.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these parties get together this season, as the statistics show this recent match: O'Higgins - Curicó 2-2. Statistics for the former ten meetings between these two contenders are: three wins for Curicó Unido, five draws and two wins for O'Higgins. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
